Establishment of experimental animal models of lung cancer

Abstract

Establishment of animal models of lung cancer is one of the most commonly used methods in lung cancer research,but there is a wedge between animal models of lung cancer and patients with lung cancer. Many researchers are trying to establish the animal models of lung cancer which is the proximate to human lung cancer. According to the method and destination, the animal models of lung cancer include spontaneous, induced, transplanted and genetically modified models. The method of establishment is one of the most crucial aspects of assessing lung cancer models. Key words: Lung cancer ; Experimental animal; Model
